When people ask me what my major is, I used to be tempted to lie every time and say that I'm going for an engineering degree, or a pre law degree. I am studying English and Creative Writing at UCF, and you know something? I love it.
If one more person looks at me and says, "Oh... so you want to teach then?" I might be tempted to throw a large book at them. Because of my major, people scrutinize my grammar (at which I have never excelled), question what on earth I can do besides teach, and shake their heads at me when they can't understand my poetry. But I love what I do, and that's all that matters. I'm using the gift that God has given me, and I have never been happier =]
For anyone still wondering, I do not want to teach. I have no idea what I want to do... but I will not be standing before a class diagramming sentences for the rest of my post-college life. Not that there is anything wrong with doing that, it's just not who I am.
So, to everyone who ever cared to read Dickens for pleasure or Oscar Wilde for a laugh, this is me.
I am a writer. I don't always make sense, my grammar can be atrocious, and I write straight from my heart. But one thing that my words will never be, is boring. My poems like to rhyme, and so do my stories.
And so, dear readers, I hope that you will be entertained. Don't worry about meaning, it is what it is. Just let the words flow and twist and come alive.
And that's all she wrote
beautiful... so so beautiful
